NewsForge.com’s pedigree couldn’t be more pure: It’s the sister site of Slashdot.org and sponsored by the Open Source Development Community. As a portal site, it covers news, commentary, new products, and new projects in the Open Source community. It combines Web-gathered news with that of its own reporting. NewsForge staffers or freelancers generate NewsForge Reports; the stories are posted as the first comment in a forum, and so allow easy community feedback. NewsVac stories are those gathered from around the Web, and they, too, are posted as Forum entries. NewsForge’s aim here is to connect with the Open Source community, and judging by the traffic they’re successful.
